Adams, Richard,
Who profits?
1989, 190 pages In the 1970s Richard Adams started a company. Along the way
he conquered coffee cartels, the rag trade, import quotas, public flotation,
boardroom battles and a cold-store full of rotting green peppers. He learnt
the hard way how to make a success of trading with developing countries - steering
his company through birth, growth, crash and turnaround. Adams uses the company,
Traidcraft, as a case-study. It is now Britain's largest independent alternative
trading organisation - a multi- million-pound Public Limited Company. He shares
his passionate commitment to the need for developing-world producers to get
consistent outlets and fair profits if trade is to develop. For more information:

World Crafts,
1992, 180 pages A glossy, full colour craft book, published in the autumn of
1992 by Charles Letts (of diary fame and now with a general publishing section).
The book will give an overview of crafts made in developing countries, and the
influences upong their production, especially those brought about by international
trade. Drawing upon the wealth of crafts available to OXFAM Trading, chapters
cover themes such as pottery, theatre crafts, textiles and crafts made with
modern or waste materials. Each chapter will have a general introduction to
the craft, followed by a more detailed look at particular examples, and the
people that make them, with photographs and information about OXFAM Trading's
partners. The book is intended as a celebration of craft producers world wide,
which will also increase reader's awareness of the Bridge programme. We hope
it will be an inspiration to people making their own crafts, wherever they are.
